Neachy's Select: Black Metal

In the years since I began listening to metal, black metal has become my go-to genre. The despair, anger, dissonance, experimentation, beauty, passion and hatred are second to none. These are the albums which sit at the forefront of my listening experience.

1. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
2. Agrypnie - Exit
3. Bathory - Blood Fire Death
4. Blut Aus Nord - Odinist - The Destruction of Reason By Illumination
5. Burzum - Det Som Engang Var

Murder Your Hangover With Metal

(Probably are plenty of more obscure discs I've never heard of that you could substitute for a few of the following, but a lot of them would likely require some journey into the web. Where people have a tendency to make their presence known. Not advisable when hungover. Best to stick to the whole alone thing and the sorts of albums that everyone should either have a physical copy of or at least in their comp music folders somewhere.)

1. Warning - Watching From A Distance
2. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
3. Wolves In The Throne Room - Black Cascade

Crushing (Not For The Faint Of Heart)

A little list of albums that have been kicking my ass as of late. Some albums on this list may appear to be "odd" choices, but "crushing" in this context does not necessarily mean heavy. It could be referring to the emotional intensity of the release or the literal heavy pounding sound. Hope you enjoy.

1. Esoteric - The Pernicious Enigma
2. Ahab - The Divinity Of Oceans
3. Agalloch - The Mantle
4. Warning - Watching From A Distance
5. Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All
